It should be possible to redefine `string-collate-lessp', using `cl-letf' so that is uses different locales as the optional argument. WDYT? The patch looks good. Thank you. It would be good to add an entry in ORG-NEWS about it, however. Then we can improve `org-table-sort-lines' accordingly. It can be done in another patch, tho.
